Color Inkjet Printing: Inkjet’s Web Paper Pursuit
For uncoated papers, HP and International Paper introduced ColorLok technology for desktop printers. The technology involves a calcium chloride-based chemical that is added in the paper mill. Glen Hopkins, vice president and general manager, printing technology platforms for HP, advises that ColorLok adds "a minimal cost to the overall cost of paper." The precise cost will vary, depending on the efficiency of the mill, and he thinks it is likely that the cost will come down with experience.
